A churro is a fried-dough pastry—predominantly choux ( doesn't uses a raising agent) based snack. Churros are traditional in Spain and Portugal. Traditionally Churro has eggs as one of the primary ingredient but in my recipe, I made it without the use of eggs and still it tastes the same. They go well with hot chocolate sauce.
